I know she is gonna drop some bacon.

Greater Palm Springs is head over heels in puppy love with our furry pals—especially when it comes to pet-friendly patio restaurants. From lush gardens to establishments with exclusive dog menus, these local patios give every dog a way to have its day in the oasis. Are you all ears yet? Then check out these pawsitively perfect patios for pooches.

After a ruff day of tail wagging, ball fetching, and face licking, what pup wouldn’t want to put his paws up and enjoy an ice-cold beer? Dogs that dig yappy hour shouldn’t miss the Pinzimini patio at The Westin Mission Hills in Rancho Mirage. Not only can they lap up a cold one (don’t worry – it’s dog-friendly and alcohol-free), but they can also dine on their very own bowl from the Patio Pooch menu. And if you really want to spoil your pal, go for the doggy dessert: a peanut butter and banana cookie.

Put the “wow” in bow-wow as you fall in puppy love at Melange at The Chateau at Lake La Quinta. This pooch-friendly patio sits right on the lake, offering incredible views of the water to enjoy with dinner. Treat your best friend to a bite from the restaurant’s very own dog-friendly menu as you watch night fall upon the desert, and don’t be surprised if Fido begs to come back!

Venture into The Corridor in Uptown Palm Springs, and you’ll discover where the well-heeled pups of Palm Springs go to be seen. Fetching fashionistas and carefree canines hightail it to this lush courtyard, whether to enjoy a stroll across the grass or nap under a shady tree. There’s never a shortage of furry friends for Fido here, and the stunning views of palm trees against the San Jacinto Mountains just might get your tail wagging, too. Grab a drink from nearby Koffi and pull up a seat: this just might be your pup’s new favorite hangout.

Every dog feels like they won “Best in Show” at this chic eatery in Palm Springs’ Uptown Design District, where the patio is a popular spot for four-legged visitors. Named for the owners’ cherished Westie, Jake’s pampers pooches with water bowls, treats and plenty of praise from staff and other diners alike. Enjoy lunch in true Palm Springs fashion surrounded by misters, umbrellas and lush hedges – all with your furry friend at your side.
